reads the past, present, and future at so
much per read. Love, marriage, divorce,
business, speculation and sickness are there
handled with the utmost IMMUNITY by
Mime. La Foy, the famous scientific as
~trologist," who has mOnkeyed with the
planets for 20 years, and if she wanted any
information, has "read it in the stars"
Iraug the bell the other day to see if the
door would open. 1t did so after consider
able delay, and a pimply boy in knee
pants showed me upstairs into the waiting
room. After a while | was removed to the
consultation room, where Mime. La FOy,
seated behind a small, oilcloth-covered
table, rakes up old personalities and prizes
into the mture at cut rates.
Skirmishing about among the planets
for twenty years involves a great deal of
night work, and so Nine. La Foy has the
air of one who has put in a very busy life.
She is as familiar with planets though, as
you or l might be with our W family,
and calls them by their first names. She
would know Jupiter, Venus, Saturn,
Adonis or any of the other fixed stars the
darkest night that ever blew.
"Mme. La Foy de Graw," said l, bow
ing with the easy grace of a gentleman OF
the old school, would you mind peering
into the future for me about a half dollars
worth, not necessarily for publication, ct
cetera."
Certainly not. What would you like
to know ,"
"Why, l want TO know all | can for the
money" | said, in a bantering tone. "Of
course / do not want to know what
already know. 1t is what | do not now
know that | desire to know. Tell me what
| do not know, madame. | will detain
you but a moment"
She gave me hack my large, round half
dollar and told me that she was already
weary. She asked me to Xcu her. She
was willing to unveil the future to Inc in
her poor, weak way, but she could not
guarantee to let a large flood of light into
the darkened basement of a benighted
mind Tor half a dollar.
"You can tell me what year and on
what day of what month you were born,"
said Nine. La Foy, land l will outline
your life to you. l generally require a
lock of the hair, but in your case we will
dispense with it."
| told her when | was born and the cir
cumstances as well as l could recall them.
This brings you under Venus, Mercury
and Mars. These three planets were in
conjunction at the time of your birth. You
were born when the sign was wrong and
you have had more or less trouble ever
since. Had you been born when the sign
was in the head or the heart, instead of
the feet, you would not have spread out
over the world so much.
Your health is very good, as is the
health ofthose generally, who are born I'M
der the same auspices that you were.
People who are born under the reign of the
Crab are apt to be cancerous. You, how
ever, have great lung power and wonder
full gastric possibilities. Yet, at times,
you would be easily upset. A strong cy-
clone that would uproot Il court house or
tip over Il through train would also upset
you in spite of your broad, firm feet, ifthe
wind got behind one OF your ears.
"YOu will be married early and you will
be very happy, though your wife will not
enjoy herself very much. Your wife will
be much happier during her second mar
riage.
You will prosper better in business
matters without forming any partnerships.
Do not 90 into partnership with a small,
dark nan who has neuralgia and a fine
| yacht. He has abundant means, but he
will 90 through you like IN electric shock,
Tuesdays and Saturdays will re your
most fortunate days on which to borrow
money of men with light hair. Mondays
and Thursdays will be your best days for
approaching dark men.
Look ont for q low-set man accompa-
MED hy m office cat, both of whom are en-
gagged in the newspaper business. He is
crafty and ~hald-headed on his fathers
side. He prints the only paper that con-
tains the full text of his speeches at testi-
moniaiS and dinners to other people. Do
not loan him money on any account
you wonld succeed we'll as a musician
or an inventor, but you would not do well

ity and strong passion of a poet, but you
haven't the hair. Do not try poesv.

Gus. You are on the lecture platform
speaking. Large crowds of people are
jOstling each other at the box Office and
trying to get their money back.
Then ! see you riding behind a flexible
horse that must have cost a large sum OF
money. You are smoking a cigar that has
never been in use before. Then Venus
Insects the orbit OF Mars and | see you 90
ing home with your head tied up in the lap
robe, you and your spirited horse in the
same ambulance"
"But do You see anything for me in the
future, Nine. LaFoyer?" | asked, taking
my feet Oft the table, the better to watch
her features; anything that would seem to
indicate political preterment, a reward fol-
past services to my country, rs it were?''
mo, not clearly. But wait a moment.
Your horoscope begins to get a little more
intelligent. | see you at the door of the
Senate Chamber. You are counting over
your money and looking sadly at a schedule
Of prices. Then you turn sorrowfully away
and decide to buy q seat in the House in
stead. Many years after | see you in the
Senate. You are there day after day at
tending Il your duties. You are there early
before any one else, aud | see you pacing
back and forth, up and down the a~isles,
sweeping out the Senate Chamber and
busting of the seats and rejuyenating the
cuspidoTs.f
Does this horoscope which you are u.s.
ing this season give you any idea as to
whether money matters will be scarce with
me next week or otherwise, and if so what
had | better do about it?"
Towards the last of the week you will
experience considerable money prostitution,
but Just as you have become respondent,
at the very tail end of the week, the hori.
zon will clear up, ana a slight, dark gen.
tleman, with wide trousers, who is a total
stranger to you, will loan you quite a sum
of money, with the understanding that 1t
is to be repaid on Monday"
Then You would not advise me to go to
Coney Island until the week after neXt?"
Certainly not"
Would it be etiquette in dancing a
quadrille to swing a person of the opposite
sex twice round at a select party when you
are but slightly acquainted, but feel quite
confident that her partner is unarmed?"
